Detailed Description

TimeDriven is a mix-in class for all objects whose state or behavior is a function of time.

How such objects are effected by time is entirely up to them. They can be as simple as an animation curve, or as complex as a rigid body dynamics engine.

Time is driven by the dispatch of events.

Each event has a time stamp and before it is dispatched all time driven objects are advanced to that time so that any and all consequences of the event are applied to the correct state of the model. If force is true this method will accept backward time steps, otherwise calls attempting to move time in reverse are ignored.
